where orders emerge

Free?

The latest EconTalk is Chris Anderson, editor of Wired Magazine talking about the tendency for stuff that isn’t free to be free. That is, products and services are increasingly being offered below marginal cost and at a zero price, either to allow revenue from other sources such as advertising or to sell other items at a profit or for other reasons. Chris is working on a book on the topic and is interested in feedback. So have a listen and join the comment thread over at EconTalk.
